Fact= micro pore tape will solve the problem. also fact your better off insulating your attic with with coarse verm IMO it has no use in the BRF tech its just not proper.

@Cream777 have you actually had success with leaving micropore tape over the holes on brf jars? Im in the middle of my first grow but starting more jars very soon. I made many mistakes this time so im going to correct all of those. Also real quick off topic. Can I sterilize needle with regular bic lighter?

@ rusty personally i don't use micropore tape i work clean and grow clean and use proper materials and technique,you'll always be victorious,also i dont see why not as long as it turns the needle red hot and do it between jars every time

Hmmm, from your pics I really can't tell the actual color of your grow. Only you on your end can you tell. If any other color other than white slightly off white appears then your screwed. If your color stays good, then you'll be ok, I am only on my second grow but on my first one I had condensation on the inside of my jars and had no problem. I'll be posting pics tomorrow of my jars and we can compare.

Man I am amazed at all the advice people give on this site when they see people's work in photos. Other than the obvious "is this a contam" or "is that hole big enough" type questions, I have no idea how you guys can spot details like a jar being too wet or brf being too coarse, based on the pictures and their quality.

I am experienced because I have worked with different substrate blends etc, wetter and more dry and so on. Its not that hard to tell really, I work with photos very much so I have developed a keen eye for the thing. Pictures usually tell a lot, the way the mycelium grows etc, is it whitish, is it more clear etc.
Thats why pictures are important, clear and sharp:)

That is looking more like healthy Myc!! Remember take paper notes, not just in your head notes, i usually forget exact times, measurements, ect... so WRITE it down!!!learning from your past mistakes is often your best advice Good luck Charly

Upon further observation of your jar, it looks like there might be a little bit too much moisture/condensation towards the bottom of jar, Keep a close eye on this, if it doesnt colonize as fast as the rest of the jar, that may be suspect. Any new pics of colonization, post them to keep us updated

Thanks! I am taking notes on what changes I've made. This jar is 90ish percent colonized. Have 9 others doing a bit slower but they are on the way.
